Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson is turning up the rhetoric in a fight with Lansing over a proposal to reclassify 200 felonies as misdemeanors. If it happens, he says, "everybody should go out and buy a gun. I recommend an Uzi."

[Westlander]

I prefer H&K.

[Dick Vomer]

I prefer a SIG

[borntoraisehogs]

Get all three.

[DuncanWaring]

Actually, this is just an opening reference to this story.

Are these lib idiots totally brain dead? Felonies reduced to misdemeaners? An Uzi or 3 should do it.......per household.

Gov. Jennifer Granholm is a pain but I blame the voters of Michigan for keeping her mole face in office.

think i go with Uzi. got a tec 9 put up a target and the safest place would have been in front of my target. sold it at a gun show. thanks to clinton made enough for a good supper.

Gov Jen stopped all paroles after a guy was let loose, and tortured and killed a bunch of people before the election.

Now, she wants to speed up paroles to relieve the overcrowding that her pre-election policy caused.

Either we have all of these people that she’s kept in prison that don’t need to be in prison, or, she’s letting people out that shouldn’t be on the streets. Either way, she’s blowing it.

Maybe they can get a TV series out of the whole mess.

Okay, I am not a gun owner, and would have to contact my ex if I needed some advice on what to learn on first, so how about an old persons first gun. I don’t want a pistol. I’m a good shot at theme parks and with toys, probably from shooting my camera for 30 years. How about a long bow? I love archery. Could still poke an intruder’s eye out.:)

200 fresh felons on the streets are going to commit multiple felonies per, mostly because they have learned that the justice system is a joke there are not as accountable for their crimes as they deserve to be. You won't be able to find too many of these guys in divinity school.

And how about this fine justice system? They are not accountable either.

The gun grabbers are out to prevent the public from defending themselves. The are not accountable.

So folks, we're the last ones accountable. If we don't do our part the crime situation will never turn around.

If your going to get creative then you should use a fire extinguisher, preferably a CO2 one.

[Westlander]

This is a good starter.

The gun grabbers say that they are preventing the Wild West from happening again. I say to them the Wild West was safer because the good guys were assured a chance of survivability..

The grabbers need to put away their romanticized Western stories and join the real world.

Go to Walmart and buy a 20 ga Mossberg 500 or Remington 870 pump shotgun. Look for an 18 inch barrel. Its simple, easy, does not kick like a 12 ga and its guaranteed to work every time its tried. Its also very intimidating to whoever is looking at you. Then buy a box of number 1 buckshot. Then go shoot it a few times. No need to shoot more than 3 or 4 shots to get the feel. Of course, more is better when practicing. Enjoy the feeling of being equal to anything that walks the earth!.

Ruger 10/22.

Easy to use, very accurate, very dependable, still a value. I started my kids on one at 8 and was amazed how easily they dialed it in.

Good luck and good shooting!

Bass Pro please.

Poke an eye out???? That longbow will skewer your intruder from stem to stern! It'll take a lot of practice to be good with it, though.
